South Africa recalls condoms distributed at ANC celebrations

South African health authorities have recalled more than a million condoms distributed at centenary celebrations for the ruling African National Congress party, after the condoms were found to be leaky.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — Ahead of the ruling African National Congress party's big 100-year anniversary bash earlier this month, more than a million condoms were distributed to hotels, bars and restaurants in anticipation of wild times by ANC cadres.

But after complaints that the Choice brand condoms were leaky, South African health authorities have announced a recall.

This means 1.35 million condoms that had been cleared by the South Africa Bureau of Standards are being withdrawn.
